I would 100% want to focus on the dragon first (and no, not just because it's the word of the day lol). I find the scale texture to be easy to sort out, and I feel that it spans enough of the puzzle that it'd be very good to work off of. Hooray for finishing this one!! And hey, divide your final time by four and you plus three clones of you could've done it in less than 2 hours.

Learning to puzzle as a team really seems like its whole beast, just putting 4 strong puzzlers together won't suffice. Seeing this video makes the top teams' achievement at the competition look even more impressive, it underlines how difficult the puzzle was, even by itself, so as the third trial in a limited time competition. Congratulations to anyone who finished it, during the competition and outside of it.

Honestly, your individual time is very impressive compared to the fastest team. They basically put in 10 hours ( 4*2,5 ) into this puzzle and you only 7,5! Of course a team and competition setting makes the comparison more complicated than that but I think you did amazing for such a difficult dragon puzzle!

I worked on the sand first and then struggled with that fabulous dragon eel thing. Thank goodness my husband did all the tiny fishies! The artwork is beautiful though!

Ohh, interesting. Your time is just 6min less than what I needed for a 1000 piece puzzle that I also did over the course of 3 days (and finished today). Thing is, usually I would consider myself a faster puzzler, and I did try to strategize and do this one quickly, but it turned out I received an evil puzzle in disguise. A friend gave me a 1000 piece Anne Geddes puzzle with the "Sleepy Baby Mushroom" image, and the puzzle has a huge area of green that you need to solve by recognizing patterns. And the worst thing is, that the left halfs piece cut is repeated again on the right half. So I definitely understand why my friend gave up on this puzzle and even allowed me to keep it. This puzzle is 66% green with repeating cut so my expected 4h turned into 7.5h, which is still pretty good for what this puzzle was, but oh boi. It took me 2h for a proper sorting and to do everything that wasnt green and then 5.5h for the green part, applying even better sorting and also abusing the repeating pattern to finish one side and then look up what kind of shape I need on the other side, so I felt pretty good in my strategies. I wanted to do a little speed puzzling and ended up with a little challenge puzzling, so that was unexpected. :D Oh a little note I almost forgot, I also took your advice to heart, that you shared while preparing for the puzzle competition, by looking at the box more often. I never look at the box, but if I ever wanna go to one of these competitions (what I would love to, but they are all far away from my location) then I still need to work on myself to look at the box more often, which wouldn't even have crossed my mind if you didn't say it a little while ago.

Did each team only get one copy of each puzzle? How did you decide who got to keep them?

So does everyone on the team get a copy of the puzzles from the competition? That way each of you gets one to take home?

Dragon! This was fun watching you do this puzzle, and I am so happy for you that you have your own puzzle! Can't wait to get my hands on one of them. Happy Holidays.

Dragon! Congrats on finishing this one. I was wondering, did each member of the team get to take home all of the puzzles you worked on (did they do a gift bag with all of the puzzles for each team member)? Or did you have to decide who would take them home?

Nope, only one copy of each puzzle per team. Emma took the mushrooms puzzle and I took the other two.

I had 1 box of 10 puzzles, 150-500 pieces each, depending on the puzzle. I took out a 500 pc and it took me over 5 hours to build it. I am currently waiting for a couple of puzzles to come in the mail from Bits and Pieces. I am so impatient for it to get here. I am so excited to build puzzles again. It’s been decades since I’ve puzzled. I had to take a long break to have and raise up 3 babies. They are all over 30 yrs old, I think I’ve got puzzle time now 😊 Now I want to find the puzzle in this video too.

Did a few puzzles with my fam a couple weeks ago. There was one we couldn’t complete because of how many solid black background pieces it and since we were on a deadline we had to just accept defeat. We left it in the Airbnb we stayed at for someone else to give it a shot haha

Love that you added in the audio of putting the pieces into place! I wonder if starting with the dragon, as you had planned, would have changed your time🤔

I would actually start in the middle and focus on the dragon pieces. AND I have been walking by my Amazon box, aka THE puzzle, since Friday, debating whether I should open it now or wrap it and give it to myself for Christmas. Lol.

I was thinking that It would be amazing if in the next competitions they also put a 3D puzzle, maybe for the teams event? It's a shame that those puzzles go unchallenged, and your sister would do amazing in a competition like that
